Congratulations to Ryan for his first time ever competing in a 1/2 Mile event, and doing it with great results in his Underground Racing Twin Turbo Lamborghini Aventador at Omega Motorsport’s No Flyzone 1/2 mile event in Maricopa, Arizona. This is also the first TT Aventador to compete in any kind of event. After making a few shakedown passes, Ryan went 217 MPH in the standing 1/2 mile! This build comes with a completely built race spec short block including billet connecting rods, custom CP race pistons and much more. Also, this build comes with our custom clutch, billet flywheel, billet axles, front and rear billet differentials

Few events in American car culture are as famous, or infamous, as the Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash. The name itself is historically significant, yet resolutely tongue-in-cheek. For short, it’s known simply as the Cannonball. It is the epitome of the great American road trip. It has spawned other illegal events, multiple movies, and a seemingly infinite number of road rallies. But before the glamour and the parties, there was a single, simple idea.
Coast to coast.
New York City to Los Angeles by car or bike.
As fast as humanly possible.
Legalities be damned … More
As of 2015, VF Engineering of Anaheim, CA is celebrating its 20th year doing nothing but supercharging cars that are delivered from the factory with more chassis than engine. And they fail to disappoint. Here, they apply their supercharging technology to the Lamborghini Huracan, and the result is a machine that bends space and time. With 806 HP and 610 lb/ft of torque, the Huracan now has enough power to scare you, thrill you, and get you in loads of trouble with the law. Or, in this case, trouble with the log.
This time around, Freiburger and Finnegan travel to Santa Rosa, California, to drive a crazy ’74 Mazda REPU mini-truck all the way back to SoCal, where they’ll compete in Optima’s Search for the Ultimate Street Car Challenge.
The Mazda is an oddity, originally powered by a rotary engine but later converted to Olds Toronado front-wheel drive drivetrain sometime in the late-1980s. With a 455ci big-block and ’69 Toronado transaxle slid between the rear frame rails, the seller claimed wheelies and 10-second ETs. However, Finnegan and Freiburger quickly discover their $5,000 mini-truck has more style than substance. Can they hang with the big dogs at the races?
